  2. Hyperboloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid

    This property is called Wren's theorem. [1] The more common generation of a one-sheet hyperboloid of revolution is rotating a hyperbola around its semi-minor axis (see picture; rotating the hyperbola around its other axis gives a two-sheet hyperbola of revolution). A hyperboloid of one sheet is projectively equivalent to a hyperbolic paraboloid.

  3. Hyperbola - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbola

    Hyperbola: the midpoints of parallel chords lie on a line. Hyperbola: the midpoint of a chord is the midpoint of the corresponding chord of the asymptotes. The midpoints of parallel chords of a hyperbola lie on a line through the center (see diagram). The points of any chord may lie on different branches of the hyperbola.

  4. Hyperbolic functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_functions

    A ray through the unit hyperbola x 2 − y 2 = 1 at the point (cosh a, sinh a), where a is twice the area between the ray, the hyperbola, and the x-axis. For points on the hyperbola below the x-axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).

  5. Hyperboloid model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperboloid_model

    The vectors v ∈ R n+1 such that Q(v) = -1 form an n-dimensional hyperboloid S consisting of two connected components, or sheets: the forward, or future, sheet S +, where x 0 >0 and the backward, or past, sheet S −, where x 0 <0. The points of the n-dimensional hyperboloid model are the points on the forward sheet S +.

    A hyperboloid of one sheet is a doubly ruled surface: it can be generated by either of two families of straight lines. Four images of hyperboloid towers.

  7. Hyperbolic geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_geometry

    The orthogonal group O(1, n) acts by norm-preserving transformations on Minkowski space R 1,n, and it acts transitively on the two-sheet hyperboloid of norm 1 vectors. Timelike lines (i.e., those with positive-norm tangents) through the origin pass through antipodal points in the hyperboloid, so the space of such lines yields a model of ...

  8. Hyperbolic angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_angle

    The curve represents xy = 1. A hyperbolic angle has magnitude equal to the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector, which is in standard position if a = 1. In geometry, hyperbolic angle is a real number determined by the area of the corresponding hyperbolic sector of xy = 1 in Quadrant I of the Cartesian plane.

  9. Hyperbolic coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_coordinates

    Starting from (1,1) the hyperbolic sector of unit area ends at (e, 1/e), where e is 2.71828…, according to the development of Leonhard Euler in Introduction to the Analysis of the Infinite (1748). Taking (e, 1/e) as the vertex of rectangle of unit area, and applying again the squeeze that made it from the unit square, yields ( e 2 , e − 2 ...
